Default RE: Balanced Elevator

Not sure what you consider  "high speed" aerobatics, but  most 3d planes are not designed for "high speed" performance. For that you want a turbine or a pattern plane.  Balanced elevators are  about increasing control surface area to give more authority at lower speeds, thus they are not really needed on a pattern plane or jet that has plenty of air moving over the control surfaces to induce any desired maneuver.
